At Semester's End

It's almost here. I have NO finals this semester, and I am not complaining about that. It came about because I have two lab classes, senior design, a class with an optional final, a class with a "creative project," and fitness assessment. Of those six classes, I am completely done with fitness assessment, communication systems, and EP Lab. That leaves my main things left at my Sensor's Lab project and a bunch of stuff to do for Senior Design. I feel really drained, but by Monday my life should be a lot simpler.

Christmas

In past years of college I've never payed much attention to Christmas until two days before the event when finals were finally (ha, sorry) over. This year I've been more aware of its approach. Maybe it's because in two weeks I'll get to see my nephew for the first time. Or because we've gotten like, two feet of snow in the last week--more than we got in December and January combined last winter, and as an added bonus, the thermometer hasn't made it above twenty degrees since the November. It could be because I'm looking forward to seeing friends at break, or just because I discovered pandora radio (pandora.com), which allows the user to customize internet radio stations, and I've used it to make a rock-awesome Christmas music station. Maybe it's because a certain individual has been giving me and my house-mates Christmas decorations (a not-so-subtle hint :D) and a new toaster, which is amazing.

This finals week I may have zero finals. I do, however, have three projects and a senior design project to wrap up. The end is in sight though...
